WHAT IS THIS?
This is a mail order service to modify/delete the vehicle anti-theft system (VATS) SOFTWARE programming on your 1996 – 1997 GM Chevy or GMC Vortec powered vehicle with the “Black Box” ECM or PCM. Most of these vehicles have a 4.3, 5.7, or 7.4 engine. We can do VATS delete on any black box vortec, however the most common service numbers for these computers are 16250279, 16263494, 16208546, 16229684, and 9355699.
These 96-97 modules cannot be done with HP Tuners, and most shops don’t have the hardware required to do VATS delete on these 96-97 modules. This is the reason for the higher price point. There is no need to do a “411 swap”. We have made the investment in the hardware and software necessary to support and tune these trucks and SUVs.
This is a mail order service. You need to remove the ECM/PCM from your vehicle and send it to us.
SHIPPING
You will cover shipping to us. There is a flat rate charge of $15.00 to cover return shipping back to you. Typical turnaround is 1 business day. Full instructions including the address to mail your computer to are provided after purchase but it’s not complicated. 1) Take your computer out of the vehicle 2) put it in a box 3) mail it to us.

ABOUT VATS DELETE
The GM Vehicle Anti-Theft System (VATS) Delete service refers to a programming service to disable the VATS system in a General Motors (GM) vehicle. The VATS system is a security feature installed in some GM vehicles to help prevent unauthorized starting of the vehicle.
In certain cases, vehicle owners may opt to have the VATS system deleted or bypassed for various reasons. Some common reasons include:
Engine swaps or modifications: When performing engine swaps or replacing the powertrain control module (PCM), the VATS system must be deleted to allow the vehicle to start.
Replacing the powertrain control module (PCM): the VATS system must be programmed with a dealer scan tool to allow the vehicle to start. The VATS delete will avoid the trouble and cost of going to the dealer.
Malfunctioning VATS system: If the VATS system becomes faulty and prevents the vehicle from starting even with the correct key, a VATS Delete service can be performed to eliminate the issue.
Key-related problems: If the VATS keys are lost or damaged and replacements are expensive or unavailable, some vehicle owners may choose to have the VATS system removed to enable the use of standard keys or aftermarket immobilizer systems.

Some (typically newer) vehicles require additional services before VATS delete can be performed. We will advise you after the sale and cancel the order if you choose not to purchase the additional unlock services. The E41 L5P diesel, the E90 for 19+ Silverado trucks, some older Northstar Cadillacs, the E46 for the 3.0 Duramax, the E93 on 21+ Silverado, and the E99 model ECM for the 2020+ Corvette requires extended time and expensive unlock procedures before VATS delete can be performed.
